Section 1

She stared blankly, her thoughts once again drifting to him

Rushing out of the tent to mediate was her instinctive reaction. She did not even dare to admit that she was more afraid of him getting hurt, even though it was evident that he was far superior to Wang Wenhao

The elephant is unaware of her lingering attachment, as she continues to move forward with the procession without pause

You have come to this unfamiliar place to seek me, have you not

Not a single gap, not allowing any oxygen to him

But now, it is different, completely different

His figure lingered in my mind, filled with warmth and coldness. Is he angry? In the end, he didn't even glance at me once.

The anticipation and excitement of arriving in Nepal, the ambiguous thrill after meeting Cheng Mu Yun, as well as the subsequent estrangement, jealousy, hurt, and separation. These few days have passed at a speed that surpasses the last twenty years.

In the early morning, the guides assigned the tourists to ride the elephants brought by Cheng Muyun the previous night

Wang Wenhao persistently persuaded, stating that if he did not go to Lumbini in this line of work, he would regret it for a lifetime, along with various other devout and exaggerated remarks, ultimately moving the guide. Although they were not given a van, the guide agreed to send a van back to take them to complete this sacred journey.

He is smiling, with his hand resting on the door frame, lightly tapping the door with two fingers: "So? Did I guess it right?"

She indeed mentioned before coming that she wanted to go to Lumbini, but upon arriving in Nepal, it seems that all plans fell apart, and she even forgot that she had said she wanted to go there—Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, which is also the place where Lady Maya gave birth.

In front of the public gaze, he released Wang Wenhao, withdrew the dagger he had plunged into the soil, and pressed his lips into a dangerous arc.

This is an unexpected itinerary

Wang Wenhao tilted his head back, his two hands frantically gripping his wrists, struggling with all his might to break free in a desperate bid for survival. It was completely futile.

After walking for three to four hours, we finally arrived at a small village

At dusk, they arrived at their destination

I am somewhat anxious and want to see him. I shouldn't have acted that way last night. I should have at least gone to find him in the latter half of the night to say goodbye or something else... leave a contact number...

The people around me are quietly complaining that this journey has been truly terrible

Wen Han and Agassi took out wet wipes from their small backpack, cleaned their hands, and began to share the cookies

She had just closely prevented them and was also frightened by his anger. Once back in the tent, Wang Wenhao, pale, kept drinking hot water and told them that they must leave this tourist group and that man tomorrow. She still tightly clenched her right hand with her left hand, feeling a sense of lingering fear.

Bathed in the light of the setting sun, she saw the words written on the wall: A Chinese person's home in Lumbini

He slightly averted his gaze and turned to look at her

Even so, Wen Han always felt that this itinerary was just decided moments ago; it was merely her intuition

Just as the van arrived, he suddenly stood up and rushed to ask the guide if he could hire a van to Lumbini

... ...

You are out of your mind!" Wang Wenhao struggled, trying to seize the dagger, but as soon as he raised his hand, it was pinched by two of his fingers at the throat.

This sentence is truly wonderful, the home of the Chinese people

Thus, the first half of the night was spent in the dispute between Agassi and Ram.

As the first elephant passed by the riverbank, a melody began to play, an unfamiliar tune. Some curious individuals went to investigate—across the river, there was a blind man in local attire playing the music, with a child squatting beside him, collecting money from passing tourists

In his dazed vision caused by lack of oxygen, what he saw was hell

After several days of brewing, this heavy rain finally came to an end, and they finally witnessed their first sunny day since arriving in Nepal

Wang Wenhao and Agassi went to the bar to register, while Rum went to the restroom

The lobby is filled with the sound of the air conditioning humming as it emits cool air, and against the wall, there is a row of old computers, with several tourists sitting with their backs to them, browsing the internet

Turn and leave

Wang Wenhao was still filled with anger, while other male tourists had already come over to comfort him. "Look, that guy left without holding a grudge about last night's incident, leaving the elephant for all the tourists." "It is understandable that everyone was overly emotional due to the storm last night and the disaster the night before," two Korean girls added, as they were reluctant to part with this man.

I know, I know," Wang Wenhao said in a hoarse voice, sweating with anxiety, "but I must go there, you know—" Wang Wenhao turned around, pointing towards Wen Han, "my companion is a devout Buddhist, this is a surprise I have prepared for her"

The speaker's voice was very soft, with a tone reminiscent of flirtation, striking directly at the softest part of her heart. She turned around abruptly and looked at the man standing by the door at the entrance of the courtyard.

A girl in the team exclaimed in surprise: "It's him, it's him!"

Wenhan sat by the window, gazing at the vast rice fields by the roadside, his mind feeling quite empty

A large elephant, in addition to the mahout, can carry three to four people within the square enclosure on its back

The two guides were talking and, while apologizing, kept their hands clasped together, also mentioning that the two men would leave tomorrow. "What, they will leave tomorrow?" Agassi's surprise clearly contained a sense of loss. Longm was increasingly dissatisfied, complaining that Agassi could not distinguish between friends and foes, and even after a friend was beaten, he still had to worry about the other party. Agassi laughed, mocking Longm for not being like a Moscow man at all, taking street brawls so seriously: "Look, which bar doesn't have a couple of brawls in the late night?"

Wen Han desperately shook Cheng Mu Yun's arm, shouting loudly: "Let him go! Let go!" She ran all the way here, falling twice, her face covered in mud and water

In the eyes reddened by high fever, the face of Wen Han is reflected, with her long hair disheveled over her shoulders: "Madman! Let him go now!" Wen Han trembles in fear, still desperately pushing him away, completely unaware that beneath his soaked clothes, a layer of fabric conceals the wounds from last night.

Until the elephant procession disappeared, he kept his eyes closed, concealing all the light in his gaze, quietly listening to the blind man playing this Buddhist melody

Wenhan did not want to listen to the incessant quarrel between Agassi and Ram, so she chose to sit with two strangers. When the elephant stood up and left the camp in an orderly manner, she did not see him.

More people are looking over there

The elephant team reached the landslide slope and found it difficult to pass through. The tourists had no choice but to pay, watching as the elephants abandoned them. "Let's go," Wang Wenhao reached out, wanting to support Wen Han, but Wen Han gently shook his head and avoided him. He felt somewhat displeased, but thinking about having completed this business and soon returning to Moscow, he felt relieved.

Did not look back at her even once

There is no problem that money cannot solve

It is too frightening

There is something swaying, the scene before my eyes, and my own body

It turns out that the focus is not on the blind man in white, but rather on the man half-squatting in front of the blind man, handing a banknote to the young boy

The guide greeted everyone to sit down and take a rest, waiting for the van here, while the porters unloaded all the tourists' luggage and piled it up in the open space

She stood in the yard, watching over everyone's luggage. The French sun hat on her head was quite out of place and somewhat dirty, yet it managed to shield her not-so-attractive complexion.

In the blink of an eye, he recalled the night he first engaged in smuggling, trembling hands constantly surveying his surroundings. The moment he received the money, it was snatched back, a glinting knife thrust towards him. That was the moment he feared the most, believing he would die in that corner of the Moscow train station. Later, as his business grew larger, that fear gradually faded away

Thus, the four of them eventually separated from the group, and by the afternoon, a van returned to pick them up, taking advantage of the night to head to Lumbini

You see, Wang Wenhao is still very good to you, even though he cannot compete with that man," Agassi said softly, "Oh heavens, I understand, that man can make any woman lose her heart, but do not be so disheartened, my dear, think about the place we are going to. How exciting it is, Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha.

The guide gave Wang Wenhao a warm hug: "As a Nepali, I am very pleased that you and your friends enjoy Lumbini so much. However, there are only two vans today, and we have fifteen people, so it is truly impossible to allocate a van to meet your request."

Although Agassi and Langmu found it strange, they both speculated that Wang Wenhao was trying to win back the heart of Wen Han, which had been left with that Chinese man, and thus had no objections.

This place cannot compare to Kathmandu; it is quite rudimentary

Lumbini?" the guide exclaimed in surprise, "That is not on our itinerary

In the late night, Agassi fell asleep, and Wen Han gradually regained his calm.

Wen Han was taken aback

The torrential rain, accompanied by ice blocks the size of a thumb, struck Wang Wenhao's face

All the men witnessing this scene were filled with shock and fear. Meanwhile, the women watched with great interest, their hearts racing at the sight of the two men grappling with each other. It was so masculine, so full of vigor!

Apart from Wang Wenhao, even the three of them do not know

Of course, this does not include temperature variations.

Across a river, he stood with his back to the elephant parade, extending his right hand, which had nearly suffocated an adult man in the rain last night, and patted the child's head

She grasped the railing in front of her, constantly looking around.

Wang Wenhao seemed to have long since figured out where to stay, heading straight for an unremarkable inn

Has it already left

The van has arrived, and we will head to Pokhara, where there is hot water and delicious food. It is the second largest city in Nepal, and I believe it will help everyone quickly forget the unpleasant experiences of the past few days. The guide clapped his hands and enthusiastically introduced the city of Pokhara to everyone

After a while, Wang Wenhao, who was helping everyone count their luggage in the open space, suddenly became a bit strange. First, he loudly scolded the porters, then he ran over with a dark expression, drank half a bottle of water, and sat quietly for a long time with his face covered.

The mountain road is difficult to traverse
